You tried to use nvenc as hardware encoder, but you don't have any Nvidia GPU in your system. Choose a different encoder in OBS.

It seems you have a nvidia graphics driver installed without any Nvidia GPU. This isn't going to work. I recommend you uninstall the Nvidia driver to get rid of a driver that cannot be used.
